Jets general manager John Idzik is looking for a package of draft picks in return, according to the Daily News. Revis' representative is confident the team that acquires Revis will also sign the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback to a lucrative long-term deal.

Revis is coming off a major knee injury (torn ACL), but in a Monday conference call with Jets season-ticket holders Idzik said doctors have noted Revis is "ahead of schedule" with his rehabilitation.

It makes sense for the Jets to trade Revis out of the AFC East and move him to an NFC contender with an aggressive front office. With a strong group of starters available in free agency, they should be line to quickly find a replacement.

The National Football League's trading and signing period begins March 12.
